Moving house means a thousand little things to do; from packing kitchen items to sorting the furniture to remember where you kept important papers and to update your address. A water purifier can become an afterthought in all this.

However, if you are relocating your Kent RO purifier to Guwahati, you should plan the move as the layout of the new kitchen might be different, the corner where the water connection is situated might be different and the available space in the new kitchen might not be similar to that of the old one. Planning the purifier move can help you avoid last minute problems.

If you need help with the move a Kent RO Service Center in Guwahati can help you find the right service staff. The points below can help you prepare before you unplug and move the purifier.

 Before Moving Day Check If Your Purifier Can Be Installed Easily

Just because your sink was in a particular corner of the kitchen, does not mean that the other corner of the kitchen has to be the same in the new house. The purifier might have been fixed near a corner of the sink in the old house and the drain pipe and water connection might have been right next to it.

 In the new house, the sink might be right in front of you. You need to see if the available space can accommodate your old purifier.

It is best to see the new home before the move to see if there is enough space to access the purifier for regular use and servicing.

Also think about the following:

• - Is there a water connection nearby to the planned location?
• - Is the intended location suitable for installation?
• - Is there an appropriate drainage nearby?
• - Once installed, will the purifier be easily accessible for regular service?
• - Could a cupboard door block access?

Details such as these may seem unimportant, but working through these will reduce the anxiety on the day the purifier is to be installed.

If you are renting the property, get permission from the landlord first before drilling, and making any changes to plumbing. It is a lot easier to get permission to make changes before the work is done, rather than get into a dispute with the landlord after the work is done.

 Kent RO Service Center in Guwahati: Getting Ready for Disconnection

Check your instructions to see how the purifier should be disconnected. The best resource for this will be your instruction manual, not an online video showing an entirely different purifier.

Are you not sure how to disconnect the purifier? You need to contact a professional to help you with this, as you may need to shut off the water supply to the home first.

Do not think you can just pull off the pipes connected to the purifier. Like any other connected device, the purifier can be damaged if not disconnected properly.

It’s also recommended that you capture a few pictures of the existing installation for reference of how the purifier was positioned, and where the external connections were located. While these are no substitute for proper installation documentation, they may be useful when sharing the new configuration with a service technician.

The owner’s manual, model information and any service documentation should be retained with other appliance documentation. You’ll be thankful you did if questions come up later.

Pack the purifier as you would any other appliance

 Don’t cram it between heavy objects where it could get bumped and malfunction, or worse, break.

Standard purifier transport and packaging should be sufficient for transit, however, if you’re not sure, consult the model documentation. Assuming all purifiers are the same and can be transported in the same position is not always correct.

It’s a good idea to tell the movers the purifier needs special care. While the case and exterior may look tough, internal components could be sensitive to transport and the casing and connections could get damaged.

One easy thing to do is to clearly label the box and keep it away from the boxes with miscellaneous kitchen equipment. That way it will be easy to find when the new kitchen is installed.

A new home means a different water setup

The source, pressure and quality of water can all differ from one property to another even in the same city.

The purifier needs to be suitable to the conditions of the incoming water. Just because a purifier worked well in the previous home, doesn't mean that it would not require any maintenance or adjustment for the new conditions.

If there are doubts regarding the new water conditions, it would be advisable to consult the purifier manufacturer and get the water conditions tested. A technician would be in a better position to interpret whether the purifier is installed appropriately for the conditions of the new location.

Don't rush to change purifier settings or components just because the water tastes a little different. There are many things that can explain the change in water conditions.

If you don't like how the purifier is functioning after installation, check it yourself.

Here are some things to check:

Inspect external connections. Take a look at the water supply and drainage connections. Note: If you see visible leaks, water collecting under the unit, or if you see standing water, turn the unit off, and following the safety instructions contact us to schedule a service call.

Check the normal operating cycle. Generally, you should expect the purifier to turn on and off as designed for your model. If you see the tank is not filling up or the purifier is continuously running, that is not normal and you should contact us to have it serviced.

Verify the first-use procedure. Sometimes during installation or maintenance work, the purifier may need to be flushed prior to normal operation. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the instructions for your particular purifier.

Hang on to paperwork. Keep any information a technician provided to you, or service work or warranty information for parts provided.

Just because the water is clear, does not mean it is safe to drink. If there is any concern regarding the purifier, contact the manufacturer to have it tested.

In general, 

homeowners are comfortable doing maintenance on household appliances, but may not feel the same way about work involving water lines. This should not be the case, and either approach should ensure that there is correct installation and safe handling of equipment.

You should contact us for service if the purifier needs to be disconnected from fixed plumbing, if you want to relocate the purifier and the new location requires changes, or if you see fittings that look damaged, or you are not sure if the purifier has been installed correctly.

When contacting a KENT RO Service Center in Guwahati, explain that you will be moving your existing purifier rather than installing a new one. Share the model number, the new location of installation, and if you have any concern regarding water connection. Ask if they provide service in your location and verify the service cost, before availing the service.

For authorized brand support contact KENT’s Official service channels. In case you opt for a different service provider, ensure they are well-aware of your model and can justify the work they are going to perform.

EASE THE NEXT MOVE TOO

Once installed, keep the model number of the purifier and service records in a easily accessible place. Instead of keeping it in a kitchen drawer, save a digital copy in your phone.

Note the date of reinstallation and stick to the maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Filters are not necessarily to be replaced, just because you have moved. Replacement of filters is to be done as recommended based on the condition of the filter and usage.

A little organization will help if you have to organize for a repair or a move.

Taking a water purifier to a new home involves a lot more than simply packing it. There are things to consider like new kitchen layout, safe transportation, new water connection and proper start-up process after installation.

You can get help with your move from Kent Water Purifier Service in Guwahati . Plan the new location early, ensure the unit is handled with care during the move and check operation of the unit after reinstallation. Following the above steps will help make your move less stressful.
